The company's financial struggles have been exacerbated by the loss of major retail partners and ongoing legal battles, including defamation lawsuits from Dominion Voting Systems and Smartmatic. Despite these challenges, Lindell remains optimistic about the company's future, stating that they have shifted their focus away from retail and are "coming out the other side."

"Fontbonne University Faces Closure Due to Financial Crisis"

Fontbonne University, a 100-year-old institution in Clayton, will shut down in fall 2025 due to financial challenges, declining enrollments, and budget deficits. The 16-acre campus will be bought by Washington University, and there will be no freshman class in fall 2024. Students will be assisted with transferring to other colleges, and the campus will be leased back to Fontbonne as it winds down operations. The closure comes after years of enrollment decline, budget cuts, and the elimination of academic majors and faculty positions.

"Regional Bank's Stock Plunges After Surprise Loss and Dividend Cut"

New York Community Bancorp, which played a rescuer role in a 2023 regional bank crisis, is now facing its own turmoil with a surprise net loss of $252 million for the fourth quarter and a suspension of its dividend, leading to a 46% stock drop. The bank's troubles stem from absorbing assets from a failed rival, pushing it above a $100 billion asset threshold and subjecting it to higher regulatory standards. CEO Thomas Cangemi emphasized the bank's efforts to strengthen its balance sheet and align with larger peers, but the future of regional banks in the face of challenges remains uncertain.

"Financial Turmoil and Infighting Plague Michigan GOP, Threatening Future Success"

The Michigan Republican Party is facing financial turmoil, infighting, and calls for new leadership less than a year before the 2024 presidential election. Party officials accuse the current chair, Kristina Karamo, of mismanagement, failing to fundraise, and sparking division within the party. A recent report revealed that the party had a net income of just $71,000 between March and November and over $600,000 in debt. Karamo, who gained political clout by pushing election conspiracy theories, has defended her leadership and claimed to be "course correcting" the party. However, critics argue that effective state parties are crucial for winning close elections and believe a change in leadership is necessary.

US Bank Deposits and Lending Plummet Amid Turmoil.

Deposits at US banks fell by $125.7 billion in the week ended March 22, marking the ninth-straight period of declines, according to data released by the Federal Reserve. Lending also declined by $20.4 billion, the most since June 2021, due to a decline in commercial and industrial loans. The report includes the first two weeks following the demise of Silicon Valley Bank, and it will take time to assess the full impact of the ensuing financial turmoil and outflow of deposits from mid-size and small banks.

Fed lending to banks decreases, indicating financial stability.

US banks have reduced their reliance on two Federal Reserve emergency lending programs, indicating that recent financial industry turmoil may be easing. Banks borrowed a combined $152.6bn in the week through March 29, compared with $163.9bn the previous week. The Bank Term Funding Program saw banks borrow $64.4bn, while $88.2bn was borrowed from the discount window. The Fed did not identify which banks received funding, nor did it specify how many requested it. The lending program will allow banks to borrow against bonds should customers wish to make withdrawals, rather than sell them at a loss.

Money market funds see surge in cash inflow amid financial uncertainty.

Money market funds saw their largest weekly inflow of cash since April 2020, with US funds attracting $120.93 billion in the week up to March 15. The rise was driven by fears over the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank, and concerns surrounding Credit Suisse. Total assets rose to a record $5.01 trillion, with government funds leading the increase. Signature Bank was shut down to protect consumers and the financial system following the collapse of SVB, while Credit Suisse said it would borrow up to $54 billion from the Swiss National Bank.
